After realizing she was addicted to food and finding a path to her own recovery, Cali found success in the business world before it all came crashing down.

On her way back up, she discovers Tim in New York City, an aspiring rock musician who had migrated north after leaving his “American Dream” upbringing in Florida. Tim brought aspirations of making it big, like his idols Motley Crüe, along with a penchant for cocaine and the rock n’ roll lifestyle. Cali and Tim launch their new lives together and celebrate with a move to the warm Florida sunshine, where Cali’s Addiction Coaching business begins to thrive and so does Tim’s new passion for heroin.

This is the story of a relationship overwhelmed by an unbelievable force, addiction. This force attempts to repeatedly destroy Cali and Tim, but through will and determination, the couple finds a way to continue the fight. The fight for the love they know is there, hiding beneath a wicked and drug-fueled storm.

With the recent news around opioid addiction and recovery in the headlines, I Married A Junkie‘s subject matter is a hot topic and a must read for those in recovery and their families.
